<strong>Lymphatic</strong> System and Lymph<br />
Lymph originates as blood plasma that leaks<br />
from the capillaries becoming interstitial fluid<br />
that fills the space between individual cells of<br />
tissue.<br />
• Plasma is forced out of the capillaries—<br />
filtration<br />
• Forced back in—absorption<br />
Due to interactions of:<br />
• Hydrostatic pressure—movement out of the<br />
capillaries)<br />
• Oncotic pressure—movement into the<br />
capillaries
